Specialist Dementia Care at Home
Compassionate, person-centred dementia care from specialists who understand the condition, helping your loved one live with dignity, comfort, and familiarity.
Last updated:
What is dementia care? Dementia care is specialist home care support for people living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. It includes cognitive stimulation, routine management, personal care, and companionship, all delivered by trained care professionals in the comfort of the client's own home.
Living with dementia brings unique challenges, not only for the person diagnosed but for the whole family. At Support Solutions, we understand that dementia care is about far more than managing symptoms. It is about preserving identity, maintaining meaningful connections, and ensuring that every day is lived with as much joy, comfort, and dignity as possible. Our specialist dementia care enables people to remain in the familiar surroundings of their own home, where routine, personal possessions, and long-held memories provide a foundation of security.
Our dementia care professionals receive extensive specialist training that goes well beyond the basics. They are trained in person-centred care approaches, understanding the different stages and types of dementia, communication techniques, behaviour that challenges, and how to create a safe, stimulating environment. We draw on recognised frameworks including the Dementia Care Mapping approach to ensure that our care is always led by the individual: their history, their preferences, and their pace.
We also understand the toll that caring for someone with dementia takes on family members. Our care teams work closely with families, offering guidance, reassurance, and practical support. Whether your loved one is in the early stages and needs gentle prompting with daily tasks, or requires more intensive support with personal care and safety, we tailor the care plan to where they are right now and adapt it as the condition progresses.
What's Included in Our Dementia Care
Who Is Dementia Care For?
Our dementia care service is designed for anyone living with Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, or other forms of cognitive impairment. Whether your loved one has recently been diagnosed and needs light-touch support, or is living with advanced dementia and requires full-time specialist care, we create a care plan that reflects their unique needs. Dementia care at home is also an invaluable support for family carers who want expert help while keeping their loved one in a familiar environment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dementia Care
- Can someone with dementia stay at home?
- Yes. With the right support, many people with dementia can continue living safely and happily at home for years. Our specialist carers provide the structure, supervision, and companionship needed to make home life work, even as the condition progresses.
- What training do your dementia carers have?
- All our dementia care professionals complete specialist training covering person-centred care, the different types and stages of dementia, communication strategies, managing behaviours that challenge, safeguarding, and medication support. Training is refreshed and updated regularly.
- How do you manage wandering and safety risks?
- We carry out a thorough risk assessment of the home environment and implement practical safety measures. Our carers are trained to recognise triggers for wandering and to use gentle redirection techniques. We can also advise on assistive technology such as door sensors and GPS trackers.
- Will my loved one have the same carer each time?
- We prioritise continuity. Your loved one will be supported by a small, dedicated care team so they see familiar faces at every visit. Consistency is especially important in dementia care, as it helps build trust and reduce anxiety.
- Can you provide dementia care alongside NHS services?
- Absolutely. We work collaboratively with GPs, community nurses, memory clinics, occupational therapists, and other NHS professionals. Our care plans are designed to complement any existing clinical support your loved one receives.
- What happens as the dementia progresses?
- We review and adapt the care plan regularly as needs change. If your loved one’s condition progresses, we can increase the level of support, from additional visits to full-time live-in dementia care, ensuring they always receive the right level of care at every stage.
